Acupuncture

As an ideal adjunct to chiropractic care, we use
acupuncture when we see health problems that seem caused by disruption
to energy pathways in your body called meridians. This centuries-old
healing procedure focuses on the integrity of bodily systems, not
specific conditions.

What About the Needles?

The most common question we get is about the needles we
use. Most people have encountered hypodermic needles and sewing
needles. Both types are gigantic compared to the ones we use. In fact,
five of our needles could easily fit inside a hypodermic needle!

Feels Great

When we first insert these ultra-fine, sterile needles
at special energy points on your body, most people report a small prick,
like a mosquito bite. When there is discomfort it is usually created by
vivid imaginations, not our needles!

How Does it Work?

No one knows for sure. We just know it does. Perhaps
the best way to think about acupuncture is to imagine rivers of energy
throughout your body, organized by meridians. These meridians can
experience a “log jam” and energy flow is restricted. The needles help
loosen the logjam and allow energy to circulate properly.

Acupuncture visits can take up to 15-20 minutes. Most
people experience a variety of post-session feelings, which range from
energized to a deep sense of relaxation and well-being.
